Okies in the BYC The Original

I hadn't processed in awhile but this last time I had MIL and some friends and neighbors over to observe/help. The ones that had butchered before said that they didn't notice really any smell at all (except raw meat) like what they had remembered. I did take some steps to decrease some smell. I was doing cornish X's and they are real poop machines + having the mister on to keep them from dying on me = a real mess. The night before I took them off food and put them in a dog run on the concrete and gave them a quick shower. Then I made sure not to get the water too hot to scald (140-150 deg F) and a quick ice bath dunk. Maybe someone else here has some pointers too. I do know that if you have a problem with chicken dander that you might consider wearing a mask.

We've moved in and everything although the garage is filled to the brim with boxes gallore.
School starts in four weeks, Band practice was all summer, but I'm not doing it any more, I have to concentrate on my school work. I've only got one more year after this and I have to stay focused and keep my nights free. I wish I was able to keep things straight so I could stay on, but with the homework and the house still under 'construction' the way it is it's to stressing to be doing three four things at once.

Quick question, did we ever have a set date on the next POOPS?

Glad you got moved in. I still have unopened boxes in my garage from 16 years ago. I refer to them now as time capsules. As soon as I can get to them though I will open them and see what I have been missing all of this time.
Sorry you had to drop band. but staying focused is important.

"2009 OFFICIAL AUTUMN POOPS ANNOUNCEMENT"

I am proud to announce to all Okies in the BYC members That the fall POOPS=
People Of Oklahoma Poultry Swap Has been Officially set.

WHEN= Saturday, September 26th, 2009

WHERE= OKC east KOA Campground, 6200 Choctaw rd, Choctaw Ok

WHO= All Oklahoma members of the Okies in the BYC their families and invited friends.


After the very fun and successful spring 2009 POOPS event there was much interest in having a fall event, we felt that we surely must let this fine tradition continue in all it's fanfare. with continued support We will strive to make this event even bigger and better than ever as our fine members deserve only the best. For those of our new members and members who were unable to attend the Okies in the BYC POOPS, it is a family oriented affair, where members come to meet the folks we talk to everyday on this forum, and enjoy the one thing we all have in common our fondness of poultry. This year promises to be one you do not want to miss, and as I stated it will be bigger and better than ever, this year we are planning the following.

1. Food : This year we will be featuring a full pot luck lunch and dinner.
2. Poultry : The usual fanatical buying/selling/swapping of poultry.
3. A night of fun filled entertainment at the clubhouse.
4. Several static displays for your learning and viewing pleasure.
5. small lectures and demonstrations by professional and respected members of the poultry and agriculture fields.
6. A Raffle.
7. and for the first time our very own Live POOPS Poultry Auction.
8. Printed programs of the days events.
9. POOPS T-shirts for sale at the clubhouse.
And much much more!!!!!!!.

A special operations commitee has been formed and several of our fine upstanding members have offered to give freely and happily of their time and expertise. they will head up the following appointed ares of intrest.

AL (al6517) & Monty (Buckguy20): Commitee chairmen.

Carah (Sooner) & Eulaine (TJ's Na-Na) : Food and Beverages.

Monty and Myself will be posting more specifics and details on these areas in a later post. As always Monty will be seeking Donations for the clubhouse rental and the cabin reservation info at KOA. We tried so very hard to choose a date for this event that would fit 99.9% of are available members, the weather, POOPS planning and reservation schedule, and local and regional events. The good folks at KOA have been so gracious to have invited us back and we recieved some very good positive feedback from are members, that this was a good fit for our needs. As a group we are known for are steadfastness once we set our minds to a task, it is now up to each and every one of us to come together and contact the appropriate principle to offer any help and suggestions, ya'll know the drill. The principle heads will start to post a list of names and services volunteered as it begins to come together in their areas.

So Okies let the festivities begin in the tradition of the most poplular group thread on this BYC forum.

I had a great time with Buster (jim) and his DW, and even managed to send a few birds to the big coop in the sky. I think buster has got the hang of it, he's pretty good with the hatchet his weapon of choice. Got them brined and aging in the fridge so I hope he was happy with the progress.
